Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
We could poll all of the home intruders shot with #4 buck and all of the intruders shot with #00 buck to see which one they preferred to be hit squarely with at home defense ranges...
...oh wait...they are all dead.
I really don't think it matters much. A square hit with either works...

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
The FBI liked #4 buck. So do I.
If you're going to consider birdshot perhaps cut shells will work? I lack any experience with them but the old timers assure me that they're like a slug.

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
While in the academy, medical examiner Filinger, showing slides of cases, described a male entered a home in west Philly, climbed the steps. Person inside shot him in the chest with a shotgun (sorry, don't recall the load, but we are talking mere feet here). The male turned around, walked back down the steps and exited the home, and collapsed on the sidewalk, dead. The heart was obliterated. Loss of blood pressure and supply was instantaneous. His brain retained enough oxygen to make it down and out. Had he been armed and chose to, he probably would have been able to inflict death or injury after receiving the wound.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Exactly.
Our military has documented many Islamists that were shot over and over while engaging our people, and they were so loaded up on drugs that they just wouldn't quit.
The Islamists like loading their people up on drugs before going out to die in suicidal Jihadist attacks.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Our government keeps 50% of the population high on drugs just to keep the stupid.

Re: Home Defense: 00 Buck or #4 Buck?
IMO at in home range an ounce of shot is an ounce of shot. Personally Id go for a pistol, but if I was going to use a shotty inside it would be a 20 g with birdshot. 2 or 3" of spread either way , same amount of weight more wound paths......not going thru exterior walls.
